Painting Wheel Covers ?

Any suggestions on painting 1989 Camry wheel covers? They're in good shape except for most of the paint being worn or weathered off.

I figured I'd remove the center piece, clean & scrub real good, let dry & spray paint with an aerosol. Since the covers are somewhat rubbery, a paint that holds up under a bit of flexing would be good.

I suppose it would depend upon paint brand, but I'm not sure which matches the shiny center piece the best: silver, aluminum, argent, etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If u have the toyota hubcaps i had with like 40 squares around the edge andddd the TOYOTA center cap u could easily paint it, I washed mine, removed all the dirt and grease. Then I steel wooled them lightly. I bought Dupli Colour Primer and Paint,(there's one with a silver top) they're perfect. I have a thread not doing those but ones from a newer camry's hubcaps. I did both sets for my Gen 2 camry.
